Amazing how the title changed the public perception of LeBron.

[R.I.P.]

He still did the poor decision show, he still mocked Dirk, he still told people to get back to their sad lives. Yet he wins a title and is seems it changed his character in the eyes of the public. Strange world. He

[kurt_rambis]

HOW DARE HE MOCK DIRK
poor dirk
poor, simple dirk

[ispin69]

He might have won but he's still LeBeta douchebag.

:mad:

[IGotACoolStory]

Winning cures (almost) all in sports.

That has always held true in every sport.

[DaSeba5]

He's not a douche like people think. He's made mistakes, but he's genuinely a nice guy. He's been in Miami for 2 years now and I follow the Heat closely, he's done nothing bad. It's easy to say the wrong things when you are under a microscope.

[Kobe 4 The Win]

I told you so

I said they would win it all before the season started and I also predicted that a championship would transform Lebron into a saint in they eyes of Joe Public. America loves a winner.

[NOHCP3]

Each of those infractions is punishable by death... Can't believe that guy is still alive. Damn.

[oh the horror]

It wasnt just the title. His performance to get there, and then in the finals couldnt be disputed any longer.

[DFish]

The general public has a very short memory.

[ripthekik]

hasn't changed my perception.:confusedshrug:

With a top 2 sg and top 5 pf, it was only a matter of time before he wins a ring. He still hasn't shown the heart of a true "winner".

[CelticBaller]

Dirk still busted his ass so it was ok he mocked him, made the win sweeter for you guys

[NumberSix]

Lol @ OP being mad that LeBron isn't "the bad guy" anymore instead of having the common sense to recognize how stupid it was to paint this dude as "the bad guy" in the first place.

Lebron admitted his mistakes and immaturity in 2011. He grew up in 2012 and earned everyone's respect again.

[Myth]

He might have won but he's still LeBeta douchebag.

:mad:

LeAlpha douchebag.

My opinion of him as a player has changed because of the title, but the reason I rooted against him in the first place was because of his doucheness. Though, it seems that has reduced some as well (talks more about his teammates rather than 3rd person statements that undermine his teammates like "LeBron James needs more"--not an actual quote, but close to things he has said)

[Boomerang]

This.
That.

I'm hard like concrete and my stroke is like Ray Allen.

[godfather2007]

If MJ hadn't won anything, with that attitude, he would have been the most hated athlete in history.

[franchise#3]

Is it true that he made Eric give him a foot rub?

[Nevaeh]

The general public has a very short memory.

Or maybe the general public doesn't take the sh!t ISH loves to blow out of proportion as serious as Posters here with agendas?
:oldlol:

[pauk]

He still did the poor decision show

Was nothing wrong with that show honestly speaking, at the end of it all Cleveland fans got hurt for him leaving... and they would be hurt no matter how/where/when he would have reported his departure...


he still mocked Dirk

A joke, but oh well... who the hell cares... poor Dirky... boohoo...


he still told people to get back to their sad lives.

Wrong, he didnt say to people to get back to their "SAD" lives... but told the haters that at the end of the day they would get back to their lives and he would move on with his...

Nothing wrong, well said and very true...

Now, if you feel like your life as a Lebron hater is "SAD" thats up to you...


Yet he wins a title and is seems it changed his character in the eyes of the public.

Explain what you mean, what character? What character was he ever? He was always the same good guy who every player, coach, teammate loved.... and whom every hater was butthurt upon... haters come with the territory, Magic had them, Shaq had them, Jordan had them, Kobe had them (and still has them) and so on...

[quote]He

[ripthekik]

Yep, still the same good guy he has always been who has NEVER done anything really wrong...
Awwwww this is too sweet. I'm gonna shed a tear.

Yes people here definitely are biased and have a clear agenda to bash LeBron. I know who to take serious and who to ignore in my short time here.

This is easily the biggest LeBron bashing site of all message boards. Go to most other basketball sites and none of them bash and hate Lebron this bad. I'm assuming because most fans on here are Lakers fans.

You're correct. I go on the other forums a lot and the LeBron hate is not even close to what it is here. Most of the posters here are indeed Laker fans. In fact, every poster that has a picture to bash LeBron in their avy is almost always a Laker fan for whatever reason.

[AK47DR91]

I think most mature and well-headed fans know who the real douche bag on the Heat is, and it's neither LeBron nor Bosh.

It's so funny that people keep complaining about the league being too nice and friendly, but when a player says something negative about a competitor those same people get their panties in a bunch.

Make up your mind.

There never was a public opinion of LeBron outside of Cleveland. It was always media created, and when the media started to ride him hard so did the public. When the media turned him into a villain so did the public, and then the media got back on his jock strap so did the public.

[Lebron23]

Same with Dirk. It's nice see his team choked in the first round of the playoffs again. I am not even a huge fan of this dude. At Least Kobe is very entertaining, and I was a kobestan when I was in my early teens.

And you hate him now, stop making yourself look like an idiot.

Why are you so mad? I hate his stans, and the Kobetards, But I always respect his game.

[TheMan]

LeBron is arrogant but who cares, most of the NBA greats were arrogant too.
I've never hated LeBron, I would love him on the Bull:lol

[TMT]

He's still the same guy to me. He just finally did what he couldn't do during his unsuccessful tenure in Cleveland as the Shame he had to do it on a start studded team which will forever haunt his legacy though.

Nonetheless, he still isn't humbled or changed by this experience as he claims. He's the same old Lebron with some more hardware.

what a villain...

[BlueandGold]

lol winning a chip off the backs of Wade and Bosh and all the other talents in south beach still won't remedy him choking in 09 vs Orlando, him giving up vs Boston in '10 and him choking hardcore again in '11 :oldlol:

Also Pippen averaged 20/9/7/2.5/1 during his first Finals (real shot at contention), Lebron averaged 17/7/7 his first go around and 4 straight 4th quarters 2 or less points, that' sad that someone who averages 28 ppg couldnt even average 2 points a game in the 4th during the '11 finals...

seriously one of the biggest choke jobs i've ever seen, and i've been watching for a while. Definitely worse than the "mailman doesn't deliver on sundays" choke by Malone in 97, which was an epic chokejob even in itself.

Lebron has always been the little media darling but i dont think much has changed of his clutch ability and crunch time potential even since he got his first chip.

aw dis nikka mad :oldlol:

Thanks for clarifying.

lol aren't you supercoolbeas or whoever? Whatever happened to your hero?

Either way Lebron is a top25 talent of all time.

Michael Beasley will be bench fodder for the next couple of years before retiring early
and lol Lebron23 the village idiot Lebron homer I know your not talking

still mad that his hero still isn't shit in clutch time

Anyways typical Lebron nutthugger reactions, call out OP, divert attention away from basketball, never elaborate or explain your position :facepalm

[Lebron23]

aw dis nikka mad :oldlol:


LakersReign's original account. He's the village idiot.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Personality has little to do with public perception. Jordan was a dick, but it doesn't matter because he was a winner. People like winners.

[Lebron23]

Thanks for the repped Blueandgold. I won't rep you because I just added you back on my ignore lists.

Sorry but when you have complete morons like 32dayz/bwink23, lebron23, and pauk....mr Lebron didn't need Wade or Bosh cuz he did it all by himself, on your team, your accusations don't hold any weight at all.:facepalm

[Legends66NBA7]

Didn't change mine.

Public perception ? I don't know, I guess it's different now, but that can always changes in the future.

Eh, it's all opinion from there on out.

[Indian guy]

Lebron admitted his mistakes and immaturity in 2011. He grew up in 2012 and earned everyone's respect again.

Simple concept.

You cannot be serious :facepalm . Do you think anyone would've given a **** about LeBron "growing up"(whatever that means) if he hadn't won a championship? Winning completely dictates a superstar's image. And losing is the only thing that even enables you to hate. Notice how every LeBron joke stopped being funny the moment he won a championship? What, you think that was because people suddenly realized he "grew up"? No, it was because he WON, so people had no choice but to STFU. Nobody sh!ts on a winner. The Decision wouldn't have received 10% the hate it did had LeBron already won a ring as a Cavalier. His entire story is just another reminder of the fact that winning is everything.

[Undisputed]

He's not a douche like people think. He's made mistakes, but he's genuinely a nice guy. He's been in Miami for 2 years now and I follow the Heat closely, he's done nothing bad. It's easy to say the wrong things when you are under a microscope.
I really hope you LeBron fans are just young and stupid. Have you ever met the guy? Do you know he's a nice guy for sure? No. You claiming he is makes no difference, just like everyone else who says otherwise...it just makes you look like a tool. So shut the hell up and be realistic with the shit you say.

I have respect for LBJ, what he did is worth praise. I knew he'd get his sooner or later, I've said as much in the past more than once. You c0ck riding kids just fuel the hate for the guy. I know it's all fun because he finally did what he was supposed to for the past three years, but the obsession is ridiculous for one championship.

LBJ would take a shit on your tombstone after you pass and not feel a bit of regret, so stop acting like this guy is a hero. An NBA championship does nothing but make kids like all dummies sticking up for LeBron with every living breathe feel all special for absolutely nothing. Most of you aren't even from Miami. If not for Wade, Bosh, and all the others on the Heat roster, you'd have the same ol' LeBron who would sell his a$$hole for a title. Remember that before giving him all the credit.

But, it's ISH. Why would I expect more from you guys....

Funny how you're asking me why I care so much, but not all the idiots who care about a man who they never met and defend him on a forum like he's a deity.

I just can't help but post truth after reading through some threads here. It's annoying, but as far as caring? Yeah right. If I cared, I'd be here everyday posting the same shit over and over like the rest. You guys will not see me for weeks or months after these posts in this thread, because I care so much.
